Road rage is suspected of setting off a shooting that led to the arrest of a Bloomington man early Sunday in Fontana, police said.

Johnny Alan Cannata, 22, was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, child endangerment, evading police and carrying a loaded firearm. He is being held at the West Valley Detention Center with bail set at $175,000, jail records show.

Two people flagged down police about 1:30 a.m. Sunday near Sierra and Randall avenues and said a man shot at them, Fontana police said in a news release. The victims were not injured.

Police located the suspect’s car and began pursuing it south.

“During the pursuit, the suspect tossed a handgun out of his vehicle,” the release said. “A 14-year-old bystander located the handgun and accidentally discharged the firearm,” which is what led to the child-endangerment charge. No one was injured.

Cannata was arrested without incident at 1:54 a.m. at Sierra and the 10 Freeway.

Police had no information about what provoked the incident, department spokeswoman Martha Guzman-Hurtado said in an email.

“When the victims flagged down the officer, the officer immediately pursued the vehicle in question. When the officer returned to location the victims were gone,” Guzman-Hurtado wrote. “We did an extensive area check for witnesses who may have seen or heard a shooting, but we were unable to locate. In addition, no casings or evidence of a shooting were located.”
